Here’s the not-for-profit sector’s dirty secret:

Executives are running around saying they need to do more “fundraising.”

But when you press them to ask what they need the money for, they struggle to answer.

Fundraising for fundraising’s sake never works.

Why?

Because fundraising must meet a need in the community.

It is not enough to meet your organization’s needs.

You cannot raise money for an excel spreadsheet!!

“It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.”

― Eleanor Roosevelt, former first lady of the United States
